Blood pressure promotes filtration of blood in the kidneys by, generally, being greater in pressure than blood colloid osmotic pressure and glomerular capsule pressure which produces a net filtration pressure of about 10 mm Hg. Net filtration pressure forces a large volume of fluid into the capsular space. When blood pressure increase or decreases slightly, changes in the diameters of the afferent and efferent arterioles can actually keep net filtration pressure steady to maintain normal glomerular filtration. Constriction of the afferent arteriole decreases blood flow into the glomerulus, which decreases net filtration pressure. Constriction of the efferent arteriole slows outflow of blood and increases net filtration pressure.

Blood is filtered by what?
The kidneys
How is blood filtered in kidneys?
Blood gets filtered because of the Nephrons, which are tiny little blood capillaries inside the kidneys.
When blood is filtered what is produced?
When blood is filtered in the kidneys, urine is produced. Urine is a liquid waste product that contains water, salts, and waste products filtered from the blood by the kidneys.
Where is blood filtered of waste products?
Kidneys.
Does almost all of the fluid filtered through the kidneys become urine?
No - a lot of blood is filtered through the kidneys
How does blood get from the heart to the kidneys to be filtered?
Blood flows from the heart to the kidneys through the renal arteries, which branch off the aorta. Once in the kidneys, blood enters tiny blood vessels called glomeruli, where it is filtered to remove waste and excess fluids. The filtered blood then exits the kidneys through the renal veins back to the heart.
Where is the dirty blood in our body filtered?
The dirty blood in our body is filtered by the kidneys. The kidneys remove waste products, excess minerals, and toxins from the blood to produce urine.
